There really isn't a whole lot to say about this film. Tony Jaa made the film Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior back in 2003, one that I gave 8/10. He then made The Protector: Tom yum goong in 2005, another 8/10. The original Ong Bak is about a fighter that unleashes an ancient fighting technique. Ong Bak II is basically a prequel, taking us back to 1431.The storyline is tried and boring. The acting is not good, even for a subtitled film you can tell it is bad. The action is lacking in parts... and this is the only reason to watch this film. But the marial arts for the last 20-30 minutes made this bearable. This is only worth watching if you really like some good martial arts. Jaa is a fantastic martial artist and performs all of his own stunts in his films, not to mention he directs. The action out weights the acting, and I highly suggest the original over this one.
Let's just say there will be at least one more film in this series, rumors are that Jaa left the set for two months and they had to put this out incomplete. Other rumors are that it was too long for a single film and had to be broken up. There is no release date currently set for Ong Bak 3...
Vote: 6/10
